Welcome inside
Machaba Camp
Machaba Camp is an iconic 1950s style safari camp replete with luxury tented rooms containing en-suite bedrooms with modern bathrooms, patio deck and relaxation area, and romantic outdoor showers. The tents are positioned alongside the picturesque Khwai River to optimise privacy and views of the animals coming to the river's edge to drink, and are linked by a pathway that meanders between large riverine trees.
Luxury double and family safari tents
Our elegant safari tents feature en suite bedrooms with a romantic king-sized bed that can be separated into two twin beds. The family tents at our camp have two separate sleeping areas, each with its own oversized bed, comfortably catering for four guests in total.
Modern en suite bathrooms
Every eco-luxury tent has an en suite bathroom with hot and cold running water, a double basin vanity, an indoor shower, flush toilets and locally sourced bath products.
Shower outdoors
In addition to an inside shower, each unit has an open-air shower with hot and cold running water. Completely private from the casual passerby only the African sun or stars can see you as you rinse off the day’s adventures.
Roughing it meets comfort
Feel close to nature with only a layer of canvas between you and the wilds, but enjoy the luxuries of electric lamps, fans, mini safes and running hot and cold water.

A pleasing balance between style, comfort and environment
We design each room to maximise privacy and optimise views of the land and we take our decor inspiration from a traditional African safari in terms of the fabrics, texture and hues that we use. We pair this feeling of opulence with consideration for the environment, which is why we don’t have any permanent structural fixtures and rely on solar energy, forgoing energy-heavy appliances such as shavers, air-conditioning and hairdryers.
- Electric lights, fans and charging stations
- International 240v plug points
- Western flushing toilet
From The Team
We aim to be environmentally conscious and aspire to achieve a delicate balance between comfort and environmental impact
Essentials and Amenities
Our rooms have all the comforts you need without compromising on the feeling of an authentic African safari feeling.
Full en-suite bathrooms
The en-suite luxury bathrooms have hot and cold running water and western-style flush toilets, enabling you to refresh, relax and reflect on another exciting day in nature.
Double vanity
A double vanity basin adds to the feeling of home comfort, even though you are thousands of miles away in the heart of nature.
Electricity and plug points
Each room is fitted with electrical lights, lamps and fans. The 240V International plug points can power charging stations, batteries and sleep apnoea machines but are not suitable for hairdryers and electric shavers.
Finest linen and bedding
Superior quality mattresses are dressed in natural fabrics and the finest of coverings. Sleeping in the wilds has never been so indulgent.
Outdoor showers
It is not often that one can shower under the twinkle of the stars (or the bright sun) in complete and total privacy.
Sumptuous towels and decadent bath products
Taking a shower after a day of adventure in the wilds reminds one of the simple pleasures in life. We supply locally produced bath products made from organic herbs and absorbent comforting towels.
Testimonials
Staying in a luxury safari tent
Staying in a safari tent immerses you into the wilds without compromising on the comfort and safety of a luxury room. Your ears will tune into the light rustlings of leaves or the distant roar of the mighty king of the veld. The wind gently catches and snaps the canvas and the air is alive with scented bushveld air. Being this close to nature evokes feelings of oneness and belonging. Africa is the birthplace of humankind, and a visit to Machaba Safaris feels like coming home.
